Alcatel-Lucent nmake Product Builder
Q: How do I know what version/release I have?
Alcatel-Lucent nmake 12 and newer
The --version command line option was added in nmake 12 to
show the version of the nmake command.
$ nmake --version
Alcatel-Lucent (Bell Labs) nmake 12 06/09/2010
Alcatel-Lucent nmake lu3.4 and newer
Execute the following command:
$ what_version_nmake
/tools/nmake/sparc5/lu3.5/:
Release: nmake lu3.5 06/07/2002 - Bell Labs
The what_version_nmake
command is included in the nmake bin directory as of
release lu3.4. Execute this command to show the version
string and the latest applied patch. The -v flag can be used
to show verbose information about the components.
The below methods of finding the version string will work in all releases.
All Releases
There are a few ways you can determine what version of nmake you are running.
- Run the
whatcommand on the nmake binary, and look for a line with make or nmake. Different platforms have different amounts of output from thewhatcommand. You should pipe the output to a pager or grep for make. Also note that thewhatcommand is located in/usr/ccs/bin/on Solaris machines, which may not be in your PATH.$ what <nmake_root>/bin/nmake | grep make nmake: Lucent(R) nmake (Bell Labs) lu3.5 06/07/2002 - Run nmake and print the
$(MAKEVERSION)variable from the command line.$ nmake -n -f - . 'print $(MAKEVERSION)' Lucent(R) nmake (Bell Labs) lu3.5 06/07/2002 - Print the variable
$(MAKEVERSION)in a Makefile.$ cat Makefile target : : "$(MAKEVERSION)" $ nmake + : Lucent(R) nmake (Bell Labs) lu3.5 06/07/2002
